ETS-UV™ DISINFECTION SYSTEMS FOR FOOD & BEVERAGE APPLICATIONSGAIN CONTROL OVER THE THREAT OF POTENTIAL CONTAMINANTS WITH ULTRAVIOLET DISINFECTION

ULTRAVIOLET (UV) FOR INDUSTRIAL USEA number of emerging microbial pathogens now display an increased tolerance to chemical disinfection and pasteurization methods. UV disinfection systems eliminate waterborne microorganisms including bacteria, molds, yeasts and algae. UV can be used for disinfecting, total organic carbon (TOC) reduction, ozone and chlorine destruction. It is fast, effective, economical and environmentally friendly.

ETS-UV™ DISINFECTION SYSTEMS FOR FOOD & BEVERAGE APPLICATIONSGAIN CONTROL OVER THE THREAT OF POTENTIAL CONTAMINANTS

Waterborne microorganisms can affect the flavor, color, odor, and shelf life of soft drinks, bottled water and a wide variety of food products. It is critical that product or process water is wholesome and free from contamination by pathogens and spoilage organisms.

With a safety-conscious market and stringent regulations, manufacturers are challenged to respond with solutions that reduce chemical additives and preservatives.

Our ultraviolet (UV) disinfection systems allow manufacturers to gain control over these potential contaminants. Such control reduces the risk of costly production downtime, product recall, spoilage, damage to brand equity, or even fatality.

UV disinfection systems eliminate waterborne microorganisms including bacteria, molds, yeasts and algae. With a number of “emerging” pathogens now displaying increased tolerance to chlorine disinfection, Listeria Monocytogenes for example, UV is now used for disinfection in preference to conventional chemical methods. A number of our systems have demonstrated FDA regulatory compliance as a less costly alternative to the conventional pasteurization process in the dairy industry. In addition, Heat Resistant Mold (HRM) is now being disinfected from sugar syrup applications using thin film technology systems.

Our leading UV technology is used by many global food and beverage brands to reduce the risk of product rejection and increase shelf life. Full traceability is provided by state-of-art controllers.

WHAT IS UV DISINFECTION?WHAT IS ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT?

Ultraviolet (UV) light is energy within the electromagnetic spectrum that has shorter wavelengths than that which are visible to the human eye. UV light is a range of electromagnetic waves from 100 to 400 nanometers (between x-ray and visible light). The division of UV light is classified as Vacuum UV (100-200 nm), UV-C (200-280 nm), UV-B (280-315 nm) and UV-A (315-400 nm). The energy waves provided in the UV-C spectrum demonstrate germicidal efficiencies that provide highly effective disinfection.

HOW UV DISINFECTION WORKS

UV light provides effective inactivation of microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, molds and other pathogens without the use of chemicals. UV light works by causing permanent damage to the DNA or RNA found in all living organism. Once the DNA becomes damaged, or dimerized, the organism, such as Cryptosporidium, is unable to carry out the routine cell functions of respiration, the assimilation of food and replication. Once the cell is rendered non-viable, the organism cannot cause infection. UV is the only disinfection alternative that is cost-effective and does require the addition of chemicals that may have the potential to produce carcinogenic by-products.

ADVANTAGES OF UV DISINFECTION

• The process does not add additives or preservatives

• Effective at inactivating a wide range of microorganisms including chlorine tolerant pathogens such as Cryptosporidium

• Can be used in Advanced Oxidation Process (AOP)

• UV can elimnate residual chlorine present in water

VALIDATED SYSTEMS

Many ETS-UV™ systems have performance validation per rigorous industry specific standards.

Some of our Validations or Approvals Include:

• Validation for drinking water per USEPA UVDGM & NSF/ANSI Standard 61

• Validated to the NWRI Reuse Guidelines

• NSF 50 listed (recreational water)

• Pasteurized Milk Ordinance (PMO) accepted for UV pasteurized equivalent water in dairy facilities

COMMON NUISANCES TREATED WITH UV DISINFECTION

ALICYCLOBACILLUS | The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) describes the alicyclobacillus (ABC) species as an aerobic, acidophilic, thermophilic, spore-forming bacterium. Being tolerant to acid surviving high temperatures, thus rendering useless the traditional heat treatment processes commonly used in the food industry. Bacteria is not found to cause sickness but instead, affects flavor that results in spoilage.

HEAT RESISTANT MOLD | Heat Resistant Molds (HRM), or filamentous fungi, are a group of organisms that are characterized by their ability to survive the high temperatures of the pasteurization process. The mold structures are typically dormant but triggered by high temperature events to begin the germination process. They grow slowly, but visibly within final product, which causes the rejection of product by consumers and costly return to the bottler.

CRYPTOSPORIDIUM | Cryptosporidium is a microscopic parasite that causes the diarrheal disease cryptosporidiosis. Crypto lives in the intestine of infected humans or animals. An infected person or animal sheds the parasites in the stool. While this parasite can be spread in several different ways, water is the most common way to spread the parasite. Cryptosporidium is a leading cause of waterborne disease among humans in the United States.

GIARDIA | Giardia is a microscopic parasite that causes the diarrheal illness known as giardiasis. It is found on surfaces or in soil, food, or water that has been contaminated with feces from infected humans or animals. It is protected by an outer shell that allows it to survive outside the body for long periods of time and makes it tolerant to chlorine disinfection. While the parasite can be spread in different ways, water is the most common source of transmission.

E. COLI | Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria typically live in the intestines of humans and animals. Most of these are harmless, however some are pathogenic and can cause illness, either diarrhea or illness. The types of E.coli that can cause diarrhea can be transmitted through contaminated water or food through contact.

SALMONELLA | The infection caused by this bacteria is Salmonellosis. Salmonella lives in the intestines of many animals and is found in every region of the U.S. and throughout the world. It can be found in water sources that have been contaminated with the feces of infected humans or animals. Infected persons develop fever, diarrhea and abdominal cramps.

LEGIONELLA | Legionnaires‘ is a respiratory disease caused by Legionella bacteria. Contaminated water droplets that are dispersed into the air and inhaled can lead to the development of legionnaires disease. Signs and symptoms include shortness of breath, cough, headaches, muscle aches and fever.
